Click "PLAY" for "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Judy Garland

This is a non-commercial, no ads, no sponsors - just a web site dedicated to those who have or have contact with this disease and is prepared by a prostate-cancer patient (diagnosed and treated in 1997).  This makes it a neat clean, searchable web site that is easy to read and find what you are looking for.  You can do all  your research from this site - PHID, PubMed, BLOGs, Google.  One might say this is a "searchers paradise" for prostate cancer. 

At the bottom of every page you can access the BLOG RSS and Podcast RSS and the PHID and PubMed sites - all for your quick research.  Learn how to use these - they will give you many answers (particularly the PHID and PubMed).  The PubMed link will give you all "prostate cancer" studies in the last 30 days or you can make your own request by deleting the words in the "for" field and inserting your own.  Check it often for new studies.

The Prostate-Help web sites are a virtual encyclopedia of information covering all treatments and aspects of prostate cancer.  Most everything you wanted to know about prostate cancer is here.  We try to show all aspects of this disease and show what we believe to be the best information available.  If you don't find the answers join the Ladies or the Men's forum and ask there.

We have tried to make a combination of our writings and links to what we believe to be the best Internet sites so you would not have to search and not know what you find - we did the walking!  (NOTE:  Notice all links to other pages on this site or to other Internet sites are in blue and underlined to make them stand out.)

A vital part of Prostate-Help is our Forum for men or women. These private Forum allows women or men to discuss all aspects of their or their loved one's prostate cancer illness in an active support environment. Discussions include actual or recommended treatments, illness side effects, everyday problems, member stories, diet, and recipes.

These forums are really unique and nothing comparable is offered anywhere else on the Internet! More information about the "Ladies Only" or "Exclusively Men" forum can be found by clicking "here" or on its Category "The Ladies or Men Only Forums" above.

These Forums are truly where you will never walk alone.  We will walk with you every day every step of the way.

" Don't walk alone - let us walk beside and with you"

There are two pages which will give you help and instructions on how to use this web site.  It will certainly help you understand the make-up of the site and will show you how to get around easily, thus saving you time.   You can search the site from every page with a maximum of three clicks.  To access these two pages click on "About This Site" and "How to Use This Web Site" or click on the pages in the left hand column.  In addition you can now have an email sent you anytime the page of your choice is changed - see Watch This Page .  And also important is out Guestbook /Comment page where others have left comments and so can you.

Because of the established name "Prostate-Help" and its acceptance in the medical field and its popularity on the Internet - other companies, clinics, organizations, and just plain people who have a product to sell have picked up the name and changed it in different ways like ProstateHelp, etc.  You will know you have the right web site when you use only http://www.prostate-help.org (or http://prostate-help.org) - the "org" is important -  or when you see this web site with the photo "Don't walk alone".  You will also know it is usually the true Prostate-Help when there is a hyphen between Prostate and Help and I, Don Cooley, am always identified.  Some of the worse users of the name are those who practice voodoo, organic or herbal medicine and try to convince you not to go to conventional treatments.  Certainly they are NO help nor can they cure!!!  Be careful please - the net is full of unsavory schemes to take your money.  If you can't find the true name of an owner on the site - than it is not trusworthy.  The owner and the affiliations should always be identified.

The content on this Prostate-Help web site is not intended nor recommended as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Always seek the advice of your own physician or other qualified health care professional regarding any medical condition.  We attempt to give you some information to better help you work with your medical professional.  We believe that an educated patient will no doubt get better treatments in the long run.
